It’s a decent Añejo. Doesn’t impress.

Nose: Off the bat I get a fresh mix of cooked and raw agave, with a hint of fresh cut grass, earthiness, and spicy black pepper. There’s also a bright streak of lemongrass running through it, keeping things lively. It’s layered and balanced without feeling like it’s trying too hard - just really well put together. Palate and Mouthfeel: The texture is gorgeous! It’s oily, rich, and coats the mouth beautifully. Sweet cooked agave, backed by a buttery kind of sweetness that reminds me a little of ripe papaya. Then the classic peppery heat kicks in - it’s bold but not overwhelming and it gives it that high proof punch I adore. There’s a cool, peppermint like freshness that sneaks in mid-palate, along with a little earthy backbone, but overall it’s a perfect back and forth between sweet, spicy, and herbaceous flavors. Finish: The finish is long, spicy, and bright. A vivid, energetic close that keeps you coming back for another sip. Final Thoughts: This one doesn’t overcomplicate things. It’s a straightforward, top quality pour. It’s vibrant, delicious, and an absolute pleasure to sip.

Palate: cooked agave, citrus, cinnamon, black pepper, anise, mint, minerals, vegetal, and herbal. For being a high proof, this one has little to no heat behind it.
